--------------------

Joseph removed from Nameaug to Southerton, Massachusetts to what later became Stonington, Connecticut with his father's family. His early descendants were mostly located in the vicinity of Stonington. Because most descendants were females, descendants bearing the name of Miner or Minor are few compared to those of other branches.
